howvard Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I find this a very hard aspect of trials that I find I can never get quite right, its somtimes a case of harder tyres so quicker rolling and rapid bounce or a lower pressure for grip and slower bounce. I ride a stock but am interested to know what tyres and what pressure any riders use on MOD or STOCK Thanks for any replys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-bonham@hotmail.com Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I don't run a specific pressure. just carry a pump, and adjust acording to what i'm riding at the time. That's the best advice i can give. Because everyone will be different due to weight and technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Well, I ride a 24" and I feel left out because you're only asking mod and stock riders. I usually put in 20psi, and then go for a little bounce and let air out until it feels right. My mates often tell me to change my tyre pressure though, lol.

That's the best advice i can give. Because everyone will be different due to weight and technique. Very true. It also depends on the riders style as this will determine whether the rider will run a higher pressure than a low pressure, and also whether the rider will run soft compound tyres or hard compound tyres, and then there's nobbly DH tyres, XC tyres or slick/ramp tyres. The person that can help you on this for tyre pressure is yourself and what feels right for you. I personally run Schwalbe Nobby Nic on the front and a Schwalbe Big Betty on the rear. I run these because the MAD team are sponsored by them. But I do like them a lot. For my style riding they do the job well. I run my tyres at around 25 psi.

Luke Dunstan Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Went to the sainsburys pump on Sunday, and I was running mine at 7psi, you can imagine me being 14 stone this was a bit low. 20 psi seems perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben ev Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Maxis high roller rear panaracer front. 2.5/2.4 and 40psi at least. I am about 14.5 stone though Edited March 1, 2011 by ben ev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Between 35psi and 60psi. Depends on the ride and how long it's been since pumping. I ride 24'" and don't like rimming out so run them hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 You naughty boy, I get cursed everytime I try and do my tyres at the petrol station! Haha, that's the best part of riding at 7am on Sunday mornings, only me and the tramps roaming Didcot town Between 35psi and 60psi. Depends on the ride and how long it's been since pumping. I ride 24'" and don't like rimming out so run them hard. Thought you were in to rimming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Alot of stock riders I know run pretty high pressures but I really don't like it. But most mod riders run pretty low pressures. I have no figures so this doesn't really help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I noticed I needed less pressure when I swapped from a thin sidewalled tyre to a thick one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I think mine are quite high as they're pretty hard when I try and push down with my hand (stock with der kaiser) but when I'm riding it'll bottom out occasionally on the edges of walls and things like that. Daren't run it any lower as it just feels too soft and bottoms out when I backhop though would probably help me with static stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I am using maxxis holy rollers and run around 50psi, may try harder as I still rim out when hitting stair bumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetec S Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 as already said it varies so much. I run front on 10psi and 15 on mod but I couldn't say I weigh that much. I advise you put them to 20 (if your on mod and depending on your weight) then let them down accordingly. (or increase pressure if need be) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan97 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Went to the sainsburys pump on Sunday, and I was running mine at 7psi, you can imagine me being 14 stone this was a bit low. 20 psi seems perfect. I also use 20 psi and it seems just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I just checked my rear tyre ready for going to manchester tomorrow and according to my digital meter it's 11.5psi. Feels slightly hard for that though so I reckon the gauge may be a bit wrong as I'm pretty sure I'd be able to squash the tyre down to the rim pretty easy if it was!

onza tpro Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 On my mod I love 20 psi I think it's more to do with your specific weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
